Search

Meta search engine service — DuckDuckGo and Wikipedia with consensus ranking, no API keys required.

The search service (walrus-search) provides web search capabilities for agents. It runs as an extension, registering search tools that agents call during conversations.

Configuration

[services.search]
kind = "extension"
crate = "walrus-search"
enabled = true

No API keys required — the search service uses DuckDuckGo and Wikipedia directly.

How it works

The search service aggregates results from multiple sources and applies consensus ranking:

  1. Agent calls the search tool with a query
  2. The service queries DuckDuckGo and Wikipedia in parallel
  3. Results are merged and ranked by relevance across sources
  4. Top results are returned to the agent as structured data
